That would be a cold swim.... Hope everyone is alright.

With the freezing temp in the northeast, I hope everyone makes out okay... Said a prayer in silence.

They're saying 146 on board. Its floating well and all of those ferrys responded. They said the river has white caps on it so its not really that calm.

Hell of a good job.
